Tommy Carr has 'bright future,' Michigan defense has high upside: Five key quotes from win over UTEP
Summary
-
The embedded Wolverine panel's 2026 UTEP review cautioned that Bryce Underwood's efficient Michigan passing line did not yet show downfield success: it counted no completions on two throws of at least 20 air yards and noted that his first option was often open. This is the panel's game assessment, not a new quarterback decision or a verified change in his mechanics.
-
The embedded Wolverine panel attributed all three touchdowns Michigan had allowed through its first three 2026 games to coverage breakdowns. It highlighted a motion exchange that left a defender too much ground to cover, making secondary communication a concern despite the productive pass rush. That is analyst interpretation, not a confirmed staff assignment of blame.
